Change “leave a comment” text to something else

You can make the comment heading say whatever you want…

First thing to do is get rid of the original heading. In your custom.css file add this…

.custom #respond_intro p {display: none;}

Next, your going to create a function to add a new heading. In your custom_functions.php file create the function. Give the div a class name so you can style it later in your custom.css…

function comment_heading (){?>
<div class="comment-heading"></div>
<?
}

Next, figure out what you want the heading to say and type it in between the two <div> tags…

function comment_heading (){?>
<div class="comment-heading">Here’s a new comment heading</div>
<?
}

Now, place that whole function with a hook after the post box…

function comment_heading (){?>
<div class="comment-heading">Here’s a new comment heading</div>
<?
}
add_action(’thesis_hook_after_post_box’ , ‘comment_heading’);

Next, in your custom.css your going to style the heading using the class name that you gave it which, in this case, is comment-heading. You can name it whatever you want. Here are the basic styles I used but you can style it however you like…

.custom .comment-heading { font-size: 2.3em; margin-bottom: -1em; padding: 1em;}
